LTA Youth Team Challenge
LTA Youth Team Challenge is a fun competition designed for junior tennis players. Kids compete in small teams for points over a short series of matches. Win, lose or draw, all players receive a sticker and certificate from us!
There are 2 Team Challenge formats, of which you can run one or both all-year-round, across all your age groups. These two formats are:
- LTA Youth Team Challenge: Match Week
- LTA Youth Team Challenge: Festivals
- The middle and last week of your coaching programme becomes Match Week - e.g., before half term or the end of term
- You control the format and we’ll provide resources to help
- An excellent way to keep players engaged and having fun with no additional admin
- These are bigger events that are best run during the delivery periods below
- Festivals can be run at your venue and you can invite others to take part too, if you like
- We provide dedicated resources packs including certificates, prizes and more
- Festivals are based around a seasonal theme and we encourage organisers to introduce additional activities and games to support the event (e.g. a dress-up competition for ‘Halloween Monster Smash’)
The sign-up for 2025 venue resource packs has now closed.
You can still access all of the digital resources via the ‘Organiser Resources’ dropdown below. There you can download your own certificates and stickers to deliver amazing, fun team competitions throughout the whole of 2025.
The delivery periods for Team Challenge Festivals in 2025 are:
- Easter – March/April
- French Open - May/June
- Monster Smash – October/November
- Girl, Set, Match - All year round
We encourage venues to deliver their events during these periods in order to get maximum value from the themed resources, however venues do have some flexibility around these dates.
Please note: venues are expected to deliver a minimum of 2 out of 4 festivals throughout the year in order to ensure they receive resources the following year.
